Dude, you nailed a very difficult drum part written by arguably the greatest rock drummer of all-time. That was amazing. You are a VERY talented drummer (with a great taste in music). Keep up the good work!
@@freemanwithoutthephd639 Always has to be some asshole comment like this. You may be the best drummer in the world but just tell the guy good job and move on. Insecure much?
@@freemanwithoutthephd639: "Easiest Rush song" is a phrase on par with "lightest sumo wrestler". Apparently, my band is covering this, so I am going to have to play drums and sing this song, simultaneously.
I've been watching this guys videos for years. My son that was killed 13 years ago showed me this guy. I watch him all the time over the years as it makes me remember better times while watching this with him. Thank you to astrotama......
You're welcome. All over the years, I have received many touching stories from all over the world related to my videos. This is one of them. I'm just glad that these modest efforts are helping you with your loss. Rush music has often the effect of getting people closer together (because I believe they were themselves a very close group of folks). So, my thanks go to you, and all the best.
@@Astrotama Your phrasing and timekeeping are really good, and it's clear you go to a lot of trouble and expense to research and acquire top-notch hardware. Of course any artifact from the early days is going to document how far recording for UA-cam has come. Totally deserving of a new upload, I'm going to subscribe so I'll know when it happens!
You give honor to Neil, I've watched alot of your videos and I've never seen anyone cover him note for note but you. you deserve a standing ovation every time.cheers brother.
🤘Where been all my life 🤘, I only have limited mobile data but it's worth it to watch and listen to you assassinate those drum parts. Keep on rock'n bro.....
I like your Rush Performances, and how you say how you aren't totally happy with some of your performances. This shows ow dedicated you are about perfecting your performances and skills. Keep up the good work!
I love to watch you play. I am a truck driver. Because of your videos, I play on my steering wheel to the best reinacturment to what you play. Thank you for your videos. Especially "New World Man".
I like your humility and and your imitation of Peart’s talents are the sheerest form of flattery! Keep the videos come’n my friend! I just joined your channel. ✌🏾
Really fun to watch. Great job! Weird watching something like this that is the better part of decade old. Always makes me wonder what people are up to today.

This just showed up on my feed again. I’ve seen it many times but had to watch again. You hit every movement, crash and accent note perfectly. I know every note in my head and have attempted countless times, but I could never make my hands and feet move that quickly. It’s a gift. You should be proud sir.
I am a drummer myself and after looking at other crappy vids on here you are a light amongst the darkness of no talented hacks....thank you and keep up the great drumming
Brother, this is excellent work. Like the way you dig your head to one side and then instantly move seamlessly to the next phrase. A joy to watch. Keep it up.
Very well done. I can see you have played this so much it seems effortless. Showmanship would be the icing on an already great cover. You are awesome I'm inspired.
I come back and watch a few of your videos every now and then. Your awesome man thanks for these. Neil was a legend, I hope your doing well and maybe just maybe we`ll see a new video from you some day.
Dude!!!!! I've seen some drummers in the past jamming out with limelight, but I will have to say you're the best so far. You nailed it bro. Great job!!!!
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you I like how comfortable you are on your kit especially when you hit your cymbals it's nice to watch somebody play so fluidly you know exactly where they are you don't have to look
I will personally beat the 10 people who didn't like this video until their music sense returns. You are spot on and a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your talents with us who can only dream of being as talented as you. Peace.
Bah, no need for bashing. I have no issue at all with people voting down these videos, whatever their reason. Many miss the idea that I do that as a tribute to Neil Peart, not to show off myself as a drummer. Can't pleased everybody! ;)
If you don't like the music that is one thing. But you don't down vote sunshine because of musical taste. Your skill and mastery of the drums is not up for debate, the proof is in the video. Keep on rocking my friend and keep sharing your talents!
Only played the drums in a garage band during the teenage years, so I'm no expert. However, I thought it was pretty damn good. Best of all, I was smiling the whole time. Very entertaining, along with the others of yours I've seen. Thx man!
The best cover I've heard of this song.... All of your covers are completely incredible!!! Just like Neil Peart!!! You've really got something special, keep going! :)
Would LOVE to see you and Bubbles get on stage with Rush in TO and rip it with Rush :) Not sure if Neil or the band is aware of your work but I'm going to make sure they do lol!!!!!!
@bassblair11 You have to start with the big picture first: where is the hi-hat, where is the ride, then work out the details one by one. Sometimes it's just a very small part that you have to focus on. It might take hours and hours to figure it out. That's the magic of Neil's playing. And, then, you must sit down and play that stuff.... Good luck!
truly dedicated to the craft of Neil. you are blessed. a god of note for note. I hope you perform on a daily gig/ you are too talented to stay at home.
Love it!! Absolutely love it!! You fantastic haha! I'm laughing cause I've never seen anything like it!!! You kill it on that ride symbol!!!! Brilliant!
Great job dude! You rock! I've been learning rush songs on guitar for 20 years so I can tell you did awesome on that song, Takes a great drummer to play Neil!!
Amazing! I am 43 years old, I built a drum room in our brand new house, *(my wife is less then happy, fuck her) Rush and neil Peart and drums got me through so much shit. Now I have a drum room, I do not go in, a 12K drum set, I do not play, yet, do not start yelling, I own that room. It is my life dream, since I started playing drums at 10 years old. This guy playing in this video, made me figure out that, Neil peart is a god. Guy playing drums in video, just know. you will now, cut off.
Dude, I love the fact you built that room. Don't want to be an asshole, but yeah, "F" her. Rock on my brother & hope we can jam like my this bro represententing The Professor.
Aloha Astrotama,,,It never fails! Everytime I get blown away by someone's performance such as yours. then read the comments ,there is always a negative opinion! (Opinions are like assholes and everybody has one!) Who gives a rat's ass what mistakes or little things people like Mr Smith look for just so he can point it out! Not saying you made any mistakes as I think you killed it! Awesome job!! Nobody 's perfect and as skilled as Mr Smith thinks he is,there will always be someone better and someone worse! I love watching ALL drummers good or bad,at least we're all trying our best! So Astrotama keep up the great performances cause you rock,brother! Aloha

Thanks a bunch!
I agree is very good but this song is actually one of the easiest Rush songs to play in my opinion (I play drums too btw)

ua-cam.com/video/tjwtO3Loyyo/v-deo.html
Simply Amazing!!!!! This was my late father's favorite song, I remember he used to play it all the time when I was younger. But KUDOS to you Sir!!!!
You seem to be pretty much dead on the beat. A lot of people I see are off just a little bit but you nailed it. Nice job!
Chris Cosentino - No kidding! I’m wowed by how spot on he was.
This guy is unreal !
ua-cam.com/video/tjwtO3Loyyo/v-deo.html
I have to agree completely with all of the comments made o this post, you are an amazing drummer!!!!
Thank you, but all the merit goes to Neil Peart of course! ;)
Hope you still play!
Just found this video. Well done, my friend...well done, indeed! I couldn't stop watching...keep it up!
Fantastic!! Love the “Peart” like set up too!
Don't ever stop! Simply incredible! Thank you so much.
I love to watch you play. I am a truck driver. Because of your videos, I play on my steering wheel to the best reinacturment to what you play. Thank you for your videos. Especially "New World Man".

Thanks for watching! I'm still alive and playing but not as much since I had to move back to Hawaii, not an ideal place for rock music...
